The CEO and Chairman of Clubhouse Media Group, Amir Ben-Yohanan, has come under fire for allegedly intimidating his staff members, who range in age from 15 to 24.
In the past, Amir’s CMG paid the rent for the young TikTok influencers’ $42,000 monthly house, allowing them to live rent-free. Amir Ben-Yonahan was abusing them, according to what the TikTokers there disclosed (including teenagers as young as 15).
Additionally, they claim that when they were at the company’s mansions, Amir used to yell at them and make sexist remarks.
2020 saw the co-founding of Clubhouse Media Group by Amir Ben-Yonahan. He says that while he wasn’t interested in TikTok at first, he became interested in it after realizing how enamored his kids were with it.
He so established Clubhouse Media Group.
TikTok influencers can live rent-free in opulent villas rented by CMG in the US and Europe as long as they produce sponsored content.
The $42,000 Beverly Hills estate that is the subject of this article is among his most costly residences.
About nineteen of Amir Ben-Yonahan’s former workers have come forward to say that he used to abuse them verbally. Remember that the majority of these TikTok influencers are teens. Since some are so young, their parents must go with them when they visit.
“Mandated Dates” and “Accused Our Menstruation”: The Way Amir Ben-Yonahan Handled His Adolescent Stars
According to a former member, he is very pushy when it comes to arranging dates for his rising stars.
She remembers that one day, Ben-Yonahan texted her to let her know that some guests would arrive at the house, and one of them would be her lover.
She adds that he instructed her to “put makeup on” and “look nice.”
The ex-member is undoubtedly saying that the encounter made her feel ill.
But that’s not all.
Amir Ben-Yonahan, according to a different ex-member of Clubhouse Next House, was pushing her to go on dates. The statement was “uncomfortable” to her.
The ex-member claimed to have had a peculiar, unsettling feeling from it.
In addition, he once dismissed worries about his influencers being overworked by attributing it to their menstrual cycles.
Former Clubhouse Media Group actress Sabrina Quesada discussed this incident in a video posted to YouTube.
She claimed that it appeared as though Amir was controlling adolescent girls.
Amir once referred to the female employees as “mentally weak.”
The incidence that Sabrina had mentioned was verified by a former employee of CMG.
Another ex-member claimed that because she was constantly with her lover, Amir Ben-Yonahan had informed her that she wasn’t emotionally stable enough to work in the house.
Moreover, it was believed that Amir had informed the house’s female residents that they lacked mental strength.
He used to shout at them and treat their lives like a “game,” according to former members.
One of them described it as though he was attempting to control every role we played in the house, forcing us to act like characters rather than allowing us to be who we really were.
In addition, the Clubhouse Media Group has retaliated against a number of former members for publicly criticizing the company.
It claimed that two of its former members had made false and defamatory claims about the company, and it launched two defamation cases against them. Furthermore, some members have disclosed that they are unable to express their opinions for fear of being sued by Amir Ben-Yonahan.
When investors mistook the company for the audio chat social networking app Clubhouse App, the company’s growth took off.
As of right now, the business is starting to emulate Playboy. It hires models and advertises Honeydrip, an app that is similar to OnlyFans and Playboy.
Prior to founding Clubhouse Media, Amir Ben-Yonahan was a licensed real estate broker. In addition to being a graduate of the University of Sydney Business School, he holds the position of CEO of West of Hudson Group.
The Clubhouse Media Group: What is it?
Clubhouse Media Group Inc. assists influencers in creating content, negotiating safely, and managing themselves. Yun-Hui Yu started the business in 2003. Digital Influence Inc., Nanning Tongji Hospital Co., Ltd., WOH Brands, LLC, and Doiyen LLC are a few of its subsidiaries.
Around February 2021, the company was doing remarkably well financially, but as time went on, the value of its stock fell:

How the Business Insider Article by Aamir Ben-Yohanan Went Viral
“Some TikTok influencers who lived at Clubhouse content mansions say the startup’s CEO bullied talent, made misogynistic comments and treated their personal lives like ‘a game'” is the title of a story by Aamir Ben-Yohanan that appeared in Business Insider.
The post’s author, Amanda Perelli, discusses the alleged bullying episode in considerable detail.
Thousands of people shared this message when it went viral online.
The Bottom Line
Ownership of the Clubhouse Media Group has to have benefits. However, Amir Ben-Yonahan has been accused of verbally abusing his young talent much too often.
Amir has been accused of far too many transgressions, ranging from pressuring young females to go on dates to accusing them of being overworked during their menstrual cycles.
Additionally, there have been previous instances where a senior executive has been the recipient of accusations.
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has come under fire for allegedly repressing employee accusations of sexual harassment.
Comparably, Terranova’s Stephen Bittel was forced to issue a public apology after he sexually harassed many employees.
You should continue to be cautious about him and his company, Clubhouse Media Group.
